Cairo, Egypt — The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) volleyball team delivered a brutal masterclass on Day Two of the 2026 CAVB Women’s African Volleyball Club Championship, overpowering Burundi’s Gender Light Club (GLC) in a lopsided Pool B encounter. From the opening serve, the Kenyan powerhouse left no doubt about their title ambitions, overwhelming the Burundian debutants with a relentless offensive barrage. KPC, often referred to as the “Oil Queens,” utilized their superior height and international experience to shut down GLC’s net play from the onset. This emphatic 3-0 victory follows KPC’s opening day win over Ghana’s KSC, firmly placing them at the top of Pool B as the tournament heads toward the knockout rounds. While GLC showed flashes of resilience, they were ultimately unable to counter the depth of a KPC roster that features several Kenyan national team stars. Source link
